I was looking to see if there was a trope about assymetrical blinking telling the audience about an aspect of the character doing it, and I came across this.

And boy howdy, is it horribly underdeveloped.

Sorry for the wait, ~Unnerving_Posterior. Opening for discussion.

Thinking this could be sent back to TLP.

This seems tropeworthy.

EDIT: Holy cow, I thought this was one of the pre-TLP or early-TLP pages we've been cutting, but it was actually launched by the OP in 2018. Definitely send back.

Send back to TLP, perhaps; is it worth mentioning things like Toy Story that are purely animation bits?

Does this trope mean something? Is it even noteworthy?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

^ Used to show "slow-wittedness, or to make the character seem more alien or animal-like." It also says "may not necessary include" cases where the character is drunk, etc., but I find that sentence confusing.

Send back to TLP. This is tropeworthy, but it needs more work.

[up]I agree. As I said in the TRS meta thread, it looks like a relic from 2008, despite being made a decade after that.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Made a crowner per the Three-Day Rule.

Edit: If there's already enough consensus in the above posts, please ignore the crowner.

Do we even need a crowner? No on has argued for keeping the trope, so I think we can just govern by consensus and send it back.

[up]FernandoLemon questioned whether it's worth keeping at all; I'm not sure if there were enough votes to send back (as opposed to cutting completely) to eliminate the need for a crowner.

Three-day bump. The consensus is to send back to TLP.

Okay, let's do it.

Time to remove the wicks.

Update: Found the trope in the launch list. After dewicking, I'll unlaunch.
